Contextual Overview

13 The golde that was broughte vnto Salomon in one yeare, was sixe hundreth and sixe and thre score talentes, 14 besydes that ye chapmen and marchauntes broughte. And all the kynges of the Arabians, and the lordes in ye londe broughte golde and syluer vnto Salomon. 15 Of the which kynge Salomon made two hundreth speares of beaten golde, so yt sixe hundreth peces of beaten golde came vpo one speare: 16 & thre hundreth shildes of beaten golde, so that thre hundreth peces of beaten golde came to one shylde: and the kynge put the in the house of the wod of Libanus. 17 And the kynge made a greate seate of Yuery, and ouerlaied it with pure golde: 18 and the seate had sixe steppes, and a fotestole of golde festened vnto the seate, and it had two leanynge postes vpon both the sydes of the seate, 19 and two lyons stode beside the leanynge postes, and there stode twolue Lions vpo the syxe steppes on both the sides. In all realmes hath not soch one bene made. 20 And all kynge Salomons drynkynge vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wod of Libanus, were of pure golde: for syluer was rekened nothinge in Salomons tyme. 21 For the kynges shippes wente vpon the See with the seruauntes of Hira, & came once in thre yeare, and brought golde, syluer, Yuery, Apes and Pecockes. 22 Thus was kynge Salomon greater then all the kynges vpon earth, in riches and wisdome.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

brought: Moses, says Bp. Warburton, "had expressly prohibited the multiplying of horses - Deuteronomy 17:16, by which the future king was forbidden to establish a body of calvary, because this could not be effected without sending into Egypt, with which people God had forbidden any communication, as this would be dangerous to religion. When Solomon had violated this law, and multiplied horses to excess - 1 Kings 4:26, it was soon attended with those fatal consequences that the law foretold: for this wisest of kings having likewise, in violation of another law, married Pharaoh's daughter - the early fruits of this commerce and then, by a repetition of the same crime, but a transgression of another law, had espoused more strange women - 1 Kings 4:26, 1 Kings 11:1, they first,in defiance of a fourth law, persuaded him to build them idol temples for their use; and afterwards, against a fifth law, brought him to erect other temples for his own." 2 Chronicles 9:25, 2 Chronicles 1:16, 1 Kings 10:28, Isaiah 2:7, Isaiah 2:8, Isaiah 31:1 "

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And out of all lands - An addition to the words in Kings. The principal countries would no doubt be Arabia and Armenia - the former always famous for its excellent breed; the latter mentioned in Ezekiel Ezekiel 27:14 as trading with horses in the fairs of Tyre.
